Sharing this because within just the last week, we've seen someone share their birth certificate on Facebook (not even privately, they made it their cover photo which must, by default, be Public) and someone else post a credit card number (expiration, CVV, and zip code too, with the claim that it was "his mother's") as a reply to Ryan Reynolds on Twitter. Please keep you and your loved ones personal information safe and secure to help reduce your risk of identity theft, and be thoughtful and courteous of others while using social media.
7. Posting photos of children’s smiling faces might seem innocent enough, but it’s best to think twice before submitting photos of minors on social. According to Lawyers.com, child photography and videotaping laws are changing. Run your own business and looking to upload pics from last weekend's family-filled picnic? Make sure you comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998
and its rules regarding posting identifying information including a child’s school, full name, or hometown, first. Also, take note that consent can vary depending on state. As of 2012 in Georgia and New Jersey, for example, laws passed make it illegal for anyone other than a parent to photograph a minor.
